Diaby fights Ben Arfa: Video Post

January 14, 2009
by jamesgillesp

In 2002 French director Bruno Sevaistre filmed “A la Clairefontaine”, a documentary series following France’s top young talents during their time at the highly acclaimed French national academy; Clairefontaine. The documentary caught this great moment between a very young Hatem Ben Arfa and Abou Diaby.

Very interesting stuff, I think this gives evidence as to why there are rumours of Diaby disliking Ben Arfa. It’s pretty funny, seeing them having to hold Diaby back from tiny Ben Arfa.

Read more about the documentary on the IMDB page.

      I just thought I’d provide something interesting. Not that much happens in football, do you really want me to add to the torrent of voices all saying the same thing?

    James, that’s what I had to say. Oh and by the way, Ben Arfa has some attitude problems, big fucking attitude problems. Abu-Dhabi is a guy of my own heart.

    what a charming group of posters – the gillespie guy’s a real class act

    So Ben Arfa was a jerk even at that age. He gets along with no one, the entire Lyon team and staff stopped talking to him.

    I hadn’t seen this before and I enjoyed it.

    So keep it up, James!

    Also, for what its worth, Diaby would’ve battered him.

    Lies Sue, the only thing you know about is balti pies. That’s it, my favourite is puff pastry? What is yours?

    How do you know my shoe size? What happens if I size my shoes in European sizes? That means I’m mature. Even if i was Size UK 5, I’d still be European 37 – by the way, I size my shoes European size.
